My poultice wrap is very close to yours - but I use the Sore-No-More wipes 
instead of newspaper.  I love Sore-No-More!  I have the liniment, poultice clay 
and wipes.  (And one bottle of liniment by my bedside... )  I wet the leg with 
the liniment, then smooth on the clay, then the wipe goes on over the clay in 
place of the newspaper.  Then wrap with no-bows and standing wrap.  Like you, I 
will normally leave it on overnight.
